from press release

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Julia Braun (Tomkins
Cove, N.Y./North Rockland) scored a career-high six of
Bucknell’s school-record 24 goals on Saturday in a 24-5 rout
of Howard. Braun added an assist for a seven-point afternoon, and
freshman Molly Ford (Cockeysville, Md./St. Paul’s) also had
seven points on two goals and five assists as the Bison picked up
their first win of 2011 in emphatic fashion.

Eight different players scored goals for Bucknell (1-1) and six had
multi-goal games. Freshman Ali Carey (Clarksville, Md./Garrison
Forest), who had five goals in her collegiate debut last weekend
against St. Bonaventure, tallied four more on Saturday and also
handed out an assist. Sophomore Madison Hurwitz (Holland,
Pa./Council Rock) also tallied four goals, while freshmen Katelyn
Miller (Reisterstown, Md./McDonogh) and Lindsey Ferro (Catonsville,
Md./Notre Dame Prep) both added three goals and two assists.

Bucknell outshot Howard (0-2) 45-9 and did not allow a second-half
shot until the final minute of the game.

Alyssa DeLorenz (Garland, Texas/Plano East) finished with a pair of
saves in light duty, as Bucknell won the draw control battle 20-11.
Miller led the way with six draw controls, while Braun had five and
Kleinert and Kerri Althouse (Lancaster, Pa./Penn Manor) three
apiece. Braun and Ford picked up five ground balls apiece, while
Kleinert had three.

Howard received goals from five different players. Bucknell limited
Desiree Cox, the nation’s No. 2 goal scorer a year ago, to
one goal on one shot attempt.

Bucknell jumped out to a 4-0 lead and had a 10-4 advantage at
halftime, then scored 14 straight goals in the second half to make
it a runaway.

The previous school record for goals in a game was 23, set against
Saint Francis (Pa.) in 2007 and against Denver in 2004. Bucknell
also broke the school record for margin of victory.
Saturday’s 19-goal win was one better that the previous mark
of 18, set in the Saint Francis game in 2007 and also against Mount
St. Mary’s in 1988.

Bucknell will be back in action next Sunday, Feb. 27 at home
against Robert Morris at noon.
